Review: Something Witchy This Way Comes by Veronica Blade
My Thoughts: My Thoughts: Something Witchy This Way Comes is an extremely entertaining and enjoyable paranormal, mixed with a love story and I really liked it. When you add the two of those together you get lots of twists and turns. I never knew what to expect while reading, I would think I saw one thing coming and then something would happen to take the story in the complete opposite direction.
Tessa already has a lot to deal with before discovering that she's a witch. Her parents are so detached for her and her 5 year old sister, Bree. Tessa has been basically raising Bree and can't remember what happened to her parents to make them this way.
Tessa and Hayden have so much sexual tension between them and you are just waiting in anticipation for something to happen between them. But will a relationship between a witch and human work out? Can Tessa get over her trust issues from her last relationship? Hayden is known for his reputation with the girls, so Tessa doesn't want to end up as just another notch on his bedpost and they are just so different from each other. So there is a lot of hesitation and neither can stop thinking about the other. Then in steps Chait and there's a bit of jealously brewing.
This is a very quickly paced story that keeps you wanting more. It's not as dark as some of the other paranormal stories out there, but not too light at the same time. You never know who to trust or hate, but it does wrap up quite nicely. The characters are well developed and the reader can relate to some of the issues they face. I would definitely reccommend this book to anyone who enjoys paranormal with a touch of romance.
Veronica Blade is a very talented author and I'm looking forward to reading more by her.

Review: A Bite's Tale by Veronica Blade
A Bite's Tale
Author: Veronica Blade
Publication Date: January 4th, 2102
Genre: Paranormal / Fairy Tale Retelling
Synopsis:
A Cinderella who spends her nights as a wolf. A prince with a taste for blood. Seventeen year old Cydney struggles against her werewolf nature, trying to keep everyone around her safe. No way will she risk exposing the beast at the prince’s ball, no matter how her two cousins try to persuade her. Even as she attempts to get on with her life, Cydney can’t forget the boy she loved three summers ago — or what she did to him after losing control. Turned into a vampire to save his life, the prince refuses to live up to his royal duties. He just wants to find the girl he loved and lost...the werewolf girl who bit him. But his father, the king, commands him to attend a ball where he must choose a wife. Can he find his Cinderella before he's forced to marry another? He doesn’t even have her real name, much less a glass slipper.My Thoughts: What a great read! I was completely unable to put this book down, definitely a page turner. I happen to love twists on fairy tales, and this twist on Cinderella is no exception. Veronica Blade has written an amazing novella!
The story is shown from both Remy and Cydney's POVs. The reader just can't help but feel bad for the two of them. they were great friends, completely in love, and then Cydney accidentally bites Remy and they are torn apart, Cydney not even knowing if her friend is still alive. Three years later and Cydney is sent back to live close to where she bit her love, and since then has never allowed herself to get close to anyone again for fear of losing control and hurting them. Then a ball comes up at the castle, the King is forcing the Prince to choose a bride. Cydney doesn't want to go, but all of the eligible girls who will be turning 18 in the next 6 months are being requested to attend, or in Cydney's case, forced. Cydney doesn't realise that Prince Remy is Jack, the boy she bit three years ago. Will they recognize each other at the ball? You'll just have to read to find out what happens.
I found this to be a cute little love story that was extremely enjoyable to read. It's a nice mix in the paranormal world to have a werewolf and vampire falling for each other. I was a little sad when I finished the book, since it was over and would definitely recommend this book. It's a great, light read for a rainy day.
